Have you ever felt like you’re juggling too much—your job, family, and creative aspirations—and it’s all falling apart?

In this deeply personal episode, I share a snippet from my interview on the Academic Misfits Podcast with Luna Muñoz, where I opened up about my academic burnout, the challenges of motherhood, and the pressure to have it all.

But this episode isn’t just about burnout—it’s about hope. I reveal how writing and community became my lifelines, helping me heal and rediscover my identity beyond academia.

If you’re a writer feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next steps, this episode is for you.
